I'm not following you on this one...so we can open carry our guns so long as they are in cases? and not in a holster?There is a fact which is becoming more and more obvious to me. The City Attorneys' office and 3 members of the Park Committee may want guns out of parks, but they can not keep them out and this proposed change to the code will not prohibit anyone from legally bringing their firearms to the parks and carrying them there. This proposed language merely hinders the choice of manorby which you may carry your firearm in the City Parks.
Even with this language, you may carry your firearm on your body. It simply will be less accessible than traditional "open" carry. You may still open carry with your firearm unloaded and enclosed in a case. Not "fully enclosed", not "encased" with no prohibition on part of your firearm being exposed. The City is inavertently adopting a hunting ordinance, not a carry ordinance.
My premise is that some type of holsters are "cases"... And yes, you may still carry an "unloaded and cased" firearm.I'm not following you on this one...so we can open carry our guns so long as they are in cases? and not in a holster?
Traces of CA's BS Unloaded Open Carry law here... which needs to die a gruesome death.Landose_theghost wrote:My premise is that some type of holsters are "cases"...

Just a thought. If they want to stop you from having Open carry Picnics in Parks then why not have Open Carry Block Party's?
Or Open Carry Street dances?
Could they legally deny it? I mean simply because of the cause.J.Gleason wrote:Just a thought. If they want to stop you from having Open carry Picnics in Parks then why not have Open Carry Block Party's?

I guess you could apply for a street closing permit to hold a block party
Is that what the city "leaders" want?

Obviously they don't want us in Parks so they must want us on the streets. :celebrate
The goal is not to have "events". Events are only held for education. The goal is to open carry during your mundane daily tasks. If people are only willing to carry at events, then it is a right not exercised...... and they win.Just a thought.

Then why worry about Parks when you will get more attention on the Street?J.Gleason wrote:The goal is not to have "events". Events are only held for education.

Yeah, the idea is to keep open carrying - I was just what iffing if the ordiance passes - we should work to block passage - no other localitiy has passed any park bans since the AG memo - have you all started emailing the cityc ouncilmen? Sombody should draft and post an action item pre-formatted to start pounding the council members.The best solution is to keep having picnics in the parks and bring your guns in addition to Open Carry around town in addition to Open Carry block parties, etc. Open Carry in order to make it ordinary and no longer extraordinary.
They win if we stop bringing guns to parks even if this passes.
It's solecism.Thank y'all for reading my work so closely. I pray that you read everything as critically and be so outspoken.
I put that little solecisim in to see if you were paying attention...
So we can have an Open Carry in a case picnic?Ihave been talking to them on the phone in addition to E-mails. Everyone in Green Bay should be contacting their Alderman especially but also contact the remainder also. The theme of my recent posts is one of thethemes of my presentation to the council for Tuesday. Screaming about 2nd Amendment rights is not the way to pursuade those opposed to guns. Illustrating that this Code will not prevent guns in parks is just one of the points I will make. The source of the language is an Anti Hunting in State Parks Statute, not an Anti Carry in Parks Statute. It hinders Open Carry but does not prevent it.

Now that is what I call compromise.:banghead:
I am not trying to be a critic here, but going into the meeting with any thought of compromise on any part of this issue is going to result in a loss.
They are proposing a ban on fire arms in City Parks. Not a ban on hunting in City Parks.
